- b) False

Answer: a) True
Explanation:
The weight of total voids is the combination of weights of water & weight of air.
Consider,
• Wv = The weight of total voids.
• Ww = The weights of water.
• Wa = The weight of air.∴ Wv = Ww + Wa
Actually, the air’s weight is considered to be negligible.
i.e., Wa=0Therefore,
Wv =Ww + Wa
Wv =Ww + 0
Wv =Ww
Hence, the conclusion is the total void’s weight is equal to the weight of water.
